Neil to Host the Emmy Awards

fresh off getting on board to host the tonys mr harris will take on the emmy's. hopefully the oscars are next.

Julianne Moore Vindicated

after getting thumbs down from the real pit bull julianne gets two thumbs up from emmy. AND FROM ME! i am sure sure ms moore knows an insult from the moronic palin is a compliment. yeah she knows!

does anyone come off more insincere than claire danes? she comes off a bit condescending and downright arrogant even when being honored. this does not take away from a brilliant performance. it just makes her a less than desirable human being with no humility at all. perhaps she can platy ann romney in 'game change 2'

Emmy Awards Tonight

as much as i love a lot of tv the emmys don't grab me as say the oscars do. even though the oscars draw a lot of dreck they tend to pick 'most' of the best. most! not all. 

the emmys tend to get monotonous mostly due to repetition. 'mad men ' again? really? yes really. i'm not into most tv comedies to me they died with seinfeld, raymond, friends and the golden ladies.

but tv drama still gets me. i think most tv dramas are written better than big screen films. but the emmys also tend to ignore the real 'best of'. i mean 'once upon a time' and 'good wife' are ignored for best drama but those damn mad men keeps getting the nod. i still can't figure out who the hell nominates and eventually vote the winners. who is this committee?

well anyway the category that i think is the tightest and best this year is for actress in a leading role drama. it appears claire danes will win it. she is certainly worthy. i'd love michelle dockery to be the surprise winer. she is flawless in 'downton abbey'. ans a repeat win by julianna maggulies would be always welcome. i'd have voted for dockery. sublime. yes i repeat sublime. but hell i did not get a vote. 

enjoy them for what they are tonight. i do like the glamour of it all.

Emmy Noms Will Be Announced Today

My Emmy Score Card

i got aaron paul, byran cranston, edie falco, archie panjabi and jane lynch.

after 5 noms kyra sedgwick finally won for her brilliant brenda lee johnson on 'the closer' so i had no problems losing that one. julianna will be up there soon enough.

hate that 'glee' didn't win but another show with good gay characters, modern family' winning is a plus.

but why doesn't the academy see that matthew morrison can do EVERYTHING!

congrats to all.

aaron and bryan
